Good work.

Also, I'm not looking forward to Sprights coming to Master Duel. Hopefully they at least get preemptively hit like the Adventurer Engine did.

I dunno the only preemptive hit they could do that'd make sense is Toad or Maxx "C". I'd rather them hit Maxx "C" tbh.

Sprights only just came out in the TCG (AKA a meta with Maxx C banned but Toadally Awesome legal) last month, and they've already topped a couple of regionals and done really well in others. The preemptive hit for Sprights in MD needs to be either Toad or an in-archetype cards.

The new selection pack seems to hate me. I've dumped 6k gems into it so far and haven't pulled a single copy of either of the good Beetrooper UR's. Meanwhile, I've pulled 5 copies of their UR Fusion monster that the deck doesn't even use and barely any other UR's besides it. I don't even have enough UR materials to finish the deck by crafting those missing UR's either.

I was going to ask that lmao.

--

I haven't made any of the decks from the cards I pulled out of Wandering Travelers.

Floow, Suships, (sorta-pure) Adventurer, Magikey, and *Twins?
There is also Black Luster Soldier that I seem to be shit at making one.

What does *Twins missing from the cards in that selection packs? Gotta make use of these three Trouble Sunny...

Edit2: (insert rant #555 about Fusion Destiny here)

What are your ratios like? Getting scales screwed sucks but Mages have an ungodly amount of search options to get around it.

Wisdom Eye is an un-ashable search as long as you have any other magician scale. Pendulum call gets you any two. Duelist Alliance can grab Iris. Joker of course grabs almost anything. The Sorcerers can blow themselves up and replace themselves with their magician equivalent.

The deck is barely rogue though, if even that, so yeah >___>

@Kim_Seong-a
Sorry for the slight delay on this. I'll just post my decklist to see if something stands out there.

Main Deck
1x Dragonpit Magician (8)
2x Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer (2)
3x Wisdom-Eye Magician (5)
3x Performapal Skullcrobat Joker (8)

2x Purple Poison Magician (1)
1x Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm (5)
3x Abyss Actor - Curtain Raiser (7)

1x Ignister Prominence, the Blasting Dracoslayer
1x Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing
1x Borreload Savage Dragon
1x Baronne de Fleur
1x Timestar Magician

1x Cryston Halqifibrax
1x Artifact Dagda
1x Selene, Queen of the Master Magicians

Edit: Wandering Travelers is missing a few cards that are necessary for a Live Twins deck. Specifically, it doesn't have Secret Password (UR), Live * Twins Ki-sikil Frost (R), Live * Twins Lil-la Treat (R), and Live * Twins Sunny's Snitch (SR). There's also the main deck Evil * Twins Ki-sikil & Lil-la (UR), which usually gets run as a one-of for Trouble Sunny's GY effect.

I guess the Secret Password and Sunny'a Snitch is needed @ 3, right?

Man, that is quite a lot.

And I feel like Magikey stuff from Wandering Travelers are also lacking, though I hope not.

Yeah, Sunny's Snitch and Secret Password are both at 3. There's also Live * Twin Home (SR), which is the quick play summon spell, but you usually just need one of those.

Yep. Not on purpose though. I just posted my message before refreshing the page so I didn't know it'd hit 500.

Extra missions for DC.
Win 10 times (total 250 gems).

Ooh, I got defeated by a Red-Eyes Dragunity who turbo'ed 3 Flare Metal 1st turn lmao.

God damn I fucking hate numeron wall decks

Yeah they're super annoying and always seem to open with 2 lightning storms, a kaiju, a raigeki, and a way to get out their field spell.

I've never actually watched TheDuelLogs do a live stream (only his edited videos which are very good) but I might tune in for this one

@GallisOTK

Yoooooooo

God GallisOTK deck that I run is a travesty. What it does is just the typical Halq related combos with Sangan normal summon, but Gallis OTK is my secondary win con. It also has Darklords purely to use Ixchel, which isn't very good lol

I saw a deck on MasterDuelMeta that disguises the Gallis OTK as Adamancipators. It even has ways to search out the combo pieces.

How viable are control decks? Is anyone familiar with the Delinquent card from Pokmon TCG? Something like that

I guess I'm stuck at DLv 15-16.

I googled that card you posted, and there's pretty much no decks in Yu-Gi-Oh that win that way. Cards that force the opponent to discard from their hand in Yu-Gi-Oh are either very difficult to use, very situational, or are just straight-up banned entirely. For example, this card right here has been banned for almost two decades and will never, ever, ever, ever leave its place on the banlist:

https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Delinquent_Duo

As for your main question... decks that could be considered "control" decks in Yu-Gi-Oh are more like "stun" decks and rely on continuous floodgates that prevent the opponent from doing certain things. The best example of such a deck in Master Duel right now would be Eldlich.

https://www.masterduelmeta.com/tier-list/deck-types/Eldlich

It uses floodgates like Skill Drain, Imperial Order, Gozen Match, and There Can Be Only One, floodgates that can cripple other decks but barely do anything to the Eldlich deck itself. Other decks can play a similar style, but Eldlich is the most consistent at it right now.

Oh, right, I finally hit DLv 20 two days ago (played SS Tenyi to 19 for the... fourth time, then switched to Eldlich), and... yeah, even if they somehow add more missions for the second round, I'm not touching the event again. This might have been the most miserable event I've done so far, and nothing in the second round is appealing to me. The one plus side to all of this is that they might come out with a banlist afterward, but I'm almost expecting them to hit the wrong things again.

Give me back Conq at 3, dammit! I wanna play DracoLich again, and I will gladly trade IO and Vanity's Emptiness for the chance!

When you forgot your normal summon thus you missed the deciding blow.

Also I'm dreading people who use Ra egg is actually carrying an actual Ra in their deck.

Especially Floow player because, brick as it is, they can actually shit that out.

Damn, ok then. Thanks for the great response. Even my pokemon delinquent deck was kind of sub optimal but I did love it lol

The best stun deck right now is Dinomorphia, but the deck costs a billion dollars to makes...well not even close. There's a pretty hard cap to how much you can spend on MD to make the deck you want. Compare that to TGC where if you want to make the most popular deck at its max power and lowest rarity, it can still cost you min of 150 bucks max 1k.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Dinomorphias aren't really at their full power, and it'll probably be cheaper to run Eldlich, which runs stuns but is mostly a one boss mon deck. So if you manage to make a semi-full power Dinomorphias, you'll have a pretty fun time I think. It's funny to just see most of your duels end with you having some jank low odd numbered LP

How we gonna talk about stuns and floodgates without bringing me into the convo lol

Still trying to find more ways to tweak my Gravekeepers. By far my favorite deck.

I have to admit, I applaud the people who play Pot of Desires in general, but especially in a deck like True Dracos where you already have so few monsters. I have lost track of the number of times I've used it in Swordsoul Tenyi, then checked my banished pile and seen 2-3 Mo Ye or Longyuan just chilling in there. Using it in a deck where you might have 8 monsters total seems... I dunno, absurdly risky, even for the reward.

Use Borrelsword effect at Silverrokket.
Silverrokket effect goes active.
Banish Halq from opponent Extra Deck.

...not surrendering.
Wait, this is not righ-

/surrendered few moments after

Oh.

Tbh choosing one to banish out of 15 is hard. It is slightly easier if it has something that is a lynchpin like Halq, but then they also sport Colossus and other means.

How do you check it? Doesn't Desire banish face down?

Desires is the reason I run a second Taia. I've never banished all my Mos or Longs but I've frequently killed Taia and screwed myself out of much-needed recovery in the grind game.

The best way to use Pot of Desires is to use it. The 10 cards banished don't exist, much like a lot of times 20 cards in your deck don't exist. You just happen to be banishing 10 of them is all.

Now using 2 Desires... whew... that definitely takes guts and awareness, like what your deck can do with 20 random cards gone.

If you run too many 1 ofs, then it's risky, like most Auroradon combos don't like it cuz banishing all the little tuners will probably result in a loss or a much much shittier combo. Even then, people used to run Desires. If you draw into like a Brilliant Fusion and you banished Garnet, it's still fine cuz you still drew another card. Unless you drew 2 Brilliant Fusions and banished a Garnet, but the probability for that is far less likely than you'd think

It does for your opponent, but you can still go to the banished pile and see your own facedown banished cards; they're just not usable outside of a couple exceptions. Presumably because you need to know what isn't in your main/extra deck in case you play something like Emergence on an empty board, but have no Swordsoul monsters left in the deck.

Oh, I can definitely see why it gets used, especially in a deck like Swordsoul, even if I feel like the risk is sometimes not worth the reward. That's also why I'd avoid using it in something like Live Twins or True Draco; the chance of losing something important (like somehow banishing all the Twin extenders/one of a Twin), and getting a garnet in return, seems... not as worth it? I dunno.

Oh, so we can still see the face-down banished cards? That is pretty handy.

(I don't have any of the pots myself lol).

Pot of desires is pretty much a no-brainer in hyper consistent decks like swordsoul. You already play all of the main cards at 3 except Taia so the likelihood of banishing all 3 copies of a card is really low.

The perfect argument for this is basically you're getting a free +1 for banishing 10 cards you wouldn't draw anyway. The times I banished important cards causinf me to lose the duel is pretty much nonexistant. Worst-case scenario for me is drawing desires off of desires.

Again though if you have important combo pieces that are 1-ofs (floow) or you NEED all 3 copies of a certain piece, then desires isn't for you (Eldlich). Fast and aggressive decks lend themselves better to desires.

For those combo decks. Typically you can get away with banishing 3-6 from your ED for Prosperity. That pot is a lot more important when you need to dig for specific cards. (Ex floow digging for field spell and/or robina)

I got to DLv 17...finally.

My last opponent was a Zombie World user who I thought was bricked.
And because of that field spell I cannot Link summon my important stuff.

So I beat them down with Boot Sector-powered Rokkets. >__>

This duelist cup sucks

Every game its either

Kaiju'd after first turn
Numeron OTK
chain of hand traps

I am stuck on Lv. 15

Yeah a lot of people wants to be playing Numeron OTK lol. I mean it is possibly the most stress-free auto-play deck aside from Floos.

I have lost so many times in a row I might be able to rank up anymore.

This event might be the worst out of all of them.

Whoever at Konami thought it was a good idea to have this month's event be the most difficult one yet (it's literally ranked but even worse because everyone is sweating) but also have it give less gem rewards than the previous events needs to be fired.

Yeah, wth with the gems rewards lmao.

I think it only totals @ 3300? That is assuming you can reach DLv 20 (in which 18-19-20 has the last 500 gems).

I wouldn't have the patience to get to DLv20 on one of my accounts, much less both. I'm at DLv14 on both and I'm already sick of this event.

And for some reason you can't see your Opponents deck in the event

This may be the most satisfying match I had which caused me to finally rank up.

This guy is named "AnnoyingDeck" and he ran a time lords deck. Watch me crush this guy....while making some mistakes along the way. All thanks to my kaiju and crystal wing synchro dragon

Fuck you, AnnoyingDeck. And with that, I finally ranked up...one level after 3 hours of grinding.

Yeah this is stupid.

I want to see that Red-Eyes Dragunity deck (I kind of get what they ran) but the game does not let me to. :(

I just de-leveled. Great.

Yeah I am not making it to max level. I just want the gems.

I forgot I haven't reached Gold 1 lol.

Good thing I got some easy wins, including one where I was coming short of lethal but decided to make use Exploderokket's burn effect.

Rokket is fun, those gems were all well-spent.

After taking a forced long break. Im back at it again! Mostly because I was finally able to make Heroes! I had been saving UR points forever and got some good to great pulls. Its a hell of a deck.

And I was able to pilot that to get some content cleared out and sneaked into D/D/Ds as well. Apparently Im going to be comboing into next week!

Im lazy playing DC just for the gems. Getting to max seems more trouble than its worth at this point

There is another mission /swt

Win another 10 duels.

Good grief everyone at DL 17 is already playing cancers, can't get a win lmao.
